Old Testament 30

We will study the rest of the Old Testament at a faster pace. Many prominent people and stories will not be studied.
I just want to give you a general knowledge of Israel up until the time of Christ.

The Israelites are now established in the promised land.

Saul has become the first King of Israel.

1 Samuel 9:2 He (Benjamite) had a son named Saul, an impressive young man without equal among the
Israelites- a head taller than any other.

1 Samuel 11:15 So all the people went to Gilgal and confirmed Saul as King in the presence of the Lord.

Saul was instructed to conquer the Amalekites and all their cattle, sheep, camels and donkeys. Saul did destroy
the Amalekites except for their king Agag. He did not kill the best of their cattle, sheep, camels and donkeys as
God had commanded. Because of his disobedience, God stripped Saul of his position as the king ofIsrael.
